Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common Engineering questions. Click a question to expand.

  • Do I need an encroachment permit to add a driveway or culvert to my property?

    Yes, if you are going to access your property from a public road or county right of way. If you are building a home, the first access is approved with your building permit. Any additional accesses will need an encroachment permit.

  • Did you get a notice (sticker) on your “Private Property” or “No Trespassing” sign saying it is not in compliance?

    It is likely that the road is a public road and cannot be blocked. We have many public roads that go through private property. Please contact the Engineer’s office at 435-865-5370 to review and resolve the situation. Each instance will be evaluated by the Engineer and/or Road Review Committee. The county has suggestions and options for you to come into compliance. Click Resources to the right and then click Sign Requirements and Restrictions.

  • Do you need your property surveyed?

    Please contact a private engineering or surveying firm to do your survey. The county does not provide this service.

  • How do I get a copy of a filed plat or survey?

    Contact the Recorder’s office or go to their webpage on this website.

  • How do I get an address for my new home or property?

    Contact the Engineer’s office at 435-865-5370 or [email protected]. Please provide an account # or parcel #.
